Although the focus of the communication is on schools and higher education, cooperation and links between formal, non-formal and informal learning and the validation of their outcomes must also be addressed.

More specific suggestions should be issued to Member States regarding education and teacher support, including on improving the school environment as a component of their working conditions and learners’ learning conditions.
